Young Thugdropped a bombshell on Instagram Live, telling NBA YoungBoy to call him with a quick,
“Yo, Top, hit my phone, I gotta ask you something.”
This moment, caught during a recent live session, sent hip-hop fans into a frenzy, wondering what the Atlanta legend wants with the Baton Rouge star. While we don’t have the exact date pinned down, the callout has sparked chatter about a possible new collab or a private convo between these rap titans.
These two go way back, with a history of respect and shared moments. In 2017, NBA YoungBoy popped up in a video for his track “Permanent Scar,” alongside Young Thug, hinting at their early ties. YoungBoy’s no stranger to praising Thug, naming him a top-five favorite rapper in a 2022 chat. Thug returned the love, shouting out YoungBoy’s release from prison in 2022. This latest phone call request feels like they’re ready to link up again, whether for music or something personal.
Young Thug’s been busy since his 2024 jail release. He’s gearing up for his first post-prison show at the Les Ardentes festival in Liège, Belgium, on July 5, 2025. The rapper, known for flipping hip-hop’s script, also teased a new project in early 2025 with a cryptic Instagram QR code pointing to June 19, 2025. Fans are hyped for what’s next.

NBA YoungBoy’s got big plans too. He announced his 2025 Make America Slime Again Tour during an April 29, 2025, Instagram Live, where he was vibing to Young Thug’s tracks. The 45-stop tour kicks off September 2 in Dallas and ends October 19 in New Orleans, with DeeBaby, EBK Jaaybo, and K3 joining him. Fresh off a March 2025 prison release and a presidential pardon, YoungBoy’s ready to dominate.
